Quest-Related Events[edit]

She can be first heard rallying her fellow Nords to help take out the Siege Mammoth.

Eerika Skjoralmor: "The gate won't hold! All fire on that mammoth!"
Eerika Skjoralmor: "Allies on the enemy's back-line! Cover their approach!"

She shouts words of encouragement to her allies during the fight.

Eerika Skjoralmor: "No mercy! Take ten Reach-dogs for every true blooded Nord!"
Eerika Skjoralmor: "Send these milk drinkers scurrying back to the Reach!"
Eerika Skjoralmor: "For the Jarl! For Falkreath!"

She also taunts the Reachmen.

Eerika Skjoralmor: "Step foot in Falkreath and we'll bury you here, Reach-scum!"

She calls to her archers ordering them to cover you and take out enemy marksmen.

Eerika Skjoralmor: "Keep those arrows off our reinforcements!"

When the mammoth is at around 10% health:

Eerika Skjoralmor: "It's tiring! Deliver the death blow!"

Upon the mammoth's death:

Eerika Skjoralmor: "The beast's down! Unbar the gate! Quickly! Let our friends inside!"

Eerika will walk up to you and address you once you enter the Hold.

Eerika Skjoralmor: "Gurund didn't send you lot down from Sovngarde, I hope. We owe you."
<Eerika turns to Torik.>
Eerika Skjoralmor: "Torik, prepare them for what's to come. Stuhn watch over you."
Torik: "Yes, my thane!"
Eerika Skjoralmor: "The east and north gates won't hold much longer. I'll lead our people to safety. Buy me time. We'll fall back to the Halls of the Dead."
<She and warriors run off towards the hall.>

While moving further into the hold, the following conversation can be overheard between Eerika and Vanskyr.

Eerika Skjoralmor: "They're coming! This way! Move!"
Vanskyr: "I won't leave my home to burn! I can fight!"
Eerika Skjoralmor: "You can be slaughtered here, or make your stand with me at the Hall of the Dead. Choose."
Vanskyr: "Wait! I'm with you."

When in the Halls of the Dead, Eerika will be with the citizens she rescued:

Eerika Skjoralmor: "Now the Reach-dogs defile our honored dead! They are not beasts, they are vermin!"
<she sanctifies one of the bodies on the floor and moves to the next.>
Eerika Skjoralmor: "I will protect these people, but the draugr must be cleansed before they claim anymore lives."
<Eerika continues to walk until she stops at the end of the hallway.>

Thane Eerika can now be spoken with:

"Clear the way to the Jarl's hall. These people can follow after you. I will hold the enemy here as long as I can."
I thought this place was supposed to be safe.
"It was until the Reachmen corrupted it with their vile rituals. Our wards still glow with the power the Divines, so this place might yet be cleansed."
How so?
"Pray at the urns of the honored dead and accept the blessings of the Divines. Offering them to any of the corrupted dead that cross your blade will drive these vile Reach specters from their bodies and allow them to return to their deserved rest."
You think the Jarl's Hall is still standing?
"The warriors of Falkreath will defend their Jarl to the last. If this is the end, I should be at my father's side … but I won't abandon these people.
Please, do whatever you can."
You're going to defend this spot yourself?
"With any luck Torik and some others can get here before it comes to that, but if not, I will delay the enemy as long as I can. No point in sacrificing anyone else for such a cause."

Once Domihaus the Bloody-Horned is killed, Eerika will run in with some of the survivors to check on her father.

Eerika Skjoralmor: "Father!"

Eerika can be spoken to to complete the quest.

"I—I'm sure you did all you could … I just wish I'd been by his side before the end.
These Reachmen are retreating. We've broken the siege, thanks to you."
I couldn't stand by and do nothing.
"This was not your fight, but you chose to take it up when things were most hopeless, and turned our darkest hour into a victory. If that isn't the work of the Divines, I don't know what is."

Eerika will then realize that she is now Jarl of Falkreath:

Eerika Skjoralmor: "My father … Jark Skjoralmor is dead, but Falkreath lives another day."
Torik: "And so it shall so long as you stand for it, my Jarl."
Eerika Skjoralmor: "Jarl? So I am …."
"Then let it be known on this day that these warriors stand as my Thanes and their deeds shall be sung in my realm for generations to come."
Torik: "Love live Jarl Skjoralmor! Long live the saviors of Falkreath!"
Citizen: "Hah!"
Falkreath Defender: "Hah!"
Falkreath Archer: "Hah!"

Jarl Eerika can then be spoken to:

"Falkreath endures another day. We'll honor your deeds here for years to come. You are always welcome in this hold."
What will you do now?
"Shore up our defenses, lick our wounds, bury our dead. I can hope that we've seen the last of those beasts for awhile, but I won't leave it to chance.
If I can convince our neighboring holds to lend their aid, Falkreath will recover, if slowly."
What's being a Thane entail, exactly?
"It is to enjoy the respect and hospitality of all Falkreath's people, and to call this place home whenever you return.
I'm afraid I have no land and servants to bestow upon you at this time. When the city is made whole, I will do right by you."
I'm sorry about your father.
"Thank you … though you may be the only one to say so sincerely. Many will offer their condolences and kind words out of respect for me, but my father was not a well-loved Jarl.
I hope to set a better example."
